Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows part 1

"As Harry races against time and evil to destroy the Horcruxes, he uncovers the existence of three most powerful objects in the wizarding world: the Deathly Hallows."

David Yates took up the directing of the 7th movie of Harry Potter too (after Order of the Phoenix). The story is more or less similar to J.K Rowling's book (obviously) but i still felt the movie was incomplete in comparison to the book (not because it was a part 1) but overall! The camera work is brilliant but i felt the script was a really awful one. There was no humor, faint attempts were made but just the brief smile sort of humor. I was really impressed with this movie as opposed to the Order of the Phoenix, which i thought was awfully directed. But it was Yates's first time on Harry Potter so i shan't go on a rant.I missed the Hogwarts campus and teacher on the screen.My favorite character in the series ever since her introduction is Bellatrix Lestrange. Not her character particularly but the actor playing her role.She is bloody brilliant!! She is soo wickedly amazing, even though she killed Sirius Black my other favorite character i still like her a lot.Among the famous 3, i like Ronald Weasley best, even more than Harry Potter somehow. Daniel Radcliffe is loosing his charm as Harry Potter, i am starting to dislike him. Though to be nice to him i really adored him in the first 3 movies and i absolutely luurved him in Goblet of Fire. But after is haircut i don't like his appearance as much.Thank God the series is coming to and end. *sigh of relief*. Emma Watson had done an amazing job at her role through-out the series so far.Another one of my favorite characters is Luna Lovegood who i wish got some more time on camera. After reading the book i was hoping to see a lot more of her in the movie, but she made brief appearances.Now some positive remarks, the movie was well-done in terms of adaptation and filming but i wish the script had been a better one. Despite it weaknesses i am looking forward to the next part eagerly!

A look at the entire series...The first two movies in my opinion were the best directed in terms of all aspects. But after that the movie directing didn't impress me, they were all made in a rush. And now that the series is coming to an end, Hollywood decided to take it s-l-o-w...

So Netflix does its routine deal of removing and adding
shows in order to well create space and honor contracts of course. So one of
the movies leaving Netflix, amongmany others,
on 1 Feb, 2017 will be Trainspotting and I wondered if I should watch it. I stumbled upon the link a couple of days ago and thought to
myself maybe I should get around to watching it. I decided to go for it and
here are some of my reasons: one being that a long time ago, perhaps it still
is, but Trainspotting, the book by Irvine Welsh, was on a reading list in high
school. At that time, I chose Captain Corelli's Mandolin and the Great Gatsby
over it. Literature over language the choice was during my A levels. So missed
opportunity then. Second being I tried to watch the movie but the
content was a bit too explicit for me at that time. So I switched it off. Is
it still too much for my brain? Have I not seen worse, more horrifying and
revolting things? I probably have. My definitions have changed a lot sin…

Two things I absolutely avoid in
films are excessive sexual content and gore. I managed to control both my
refluxes and reflexes for Park Chan-wook. Here is why: women protagonists, an A+
on the Bechdel test and a thriller that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The cost: a ton of explicit
language, intricate sex scenes and an abundance of gore. After a string of dark and morbid themed
plots comes a refreshing turn in his career (given his history male centered films),
‘The Handmaiden’ that released October
of this year. Adapted from Sarah Water’s novel, ‘Fingersmith’, Chan-wook’s recent film explores themes like
revenge, forbidden love, eroticism and guilt. Set in South Korea under Japanese
colonial rule, The Handmaiden is a
story of two women and one man narrating a darker than Shakespeare’s comedy of
errors. Count Fujiwara- a con man pretending to be a count to seduce Lady
Hideko, Soo-khee- a pickpocket posing as a handmaiden to Lady Hideko, with whom
she falls in love and Lady Hid…

A year ago, before I moved to the United States when someone said Fall/Autumn I always pictured people flying off, trying to hold onto umbrellas, their winter hoods and belongings as leaves swiveled around them. This picture stemmed from the illustrated textbook I used to teach children the seasons of the year in Spanish- vientoso, chaqueta, parguay- all the different words we used to describe a season. Otoño- a season that we don’t really have in India, I chuckle as I try to explain it to them using the textbook visuals. Puzzled but accepting of this new piece of information, they would nod in agreement. One of my earliest memories of Chicago was walking to the train station and I remember stopping to look up at the trees full of red, orange, yellow and brown leaves. I also remember taking millions of pictures every time I stopped, my phone gallery is proof of my fascination. I’ve been told its pumpkin season- synonymous and in sync with the season’s colors. ‘Ka-doo!’ I remember echo…

If I could be one of the them, or none of the them. Who would I be?
"Happy!", she thought as her frown turned upside down, as the dark clouds parted and like a ray of sunshine, a smile broke out on her face.
